Safety information

Read this chapter thoroughly. It concerns your safety. This section describes how safety information is presented

in this manual and on the product. It also includes a summary of basic safety regulations for boat trips and main-

tenance of the engine.

Make sure you are in possession of the right instruction manual before reading on. If this is not the case,

please get in touch with your Volvo Penta dealer.

Incorrect handling can cause personal injury or damage to the product and/or property.

Consequently, please read this instruction manual thoroughly before starting the engine or

carrying out maintenance and service. If anything is still not clear or if you are not sure of

any points, please get in touch with your Volvo Penta dealer for assistance.

This symbol is used throughout the instruction manual and on the product to bring your atten-

tion to points of safety-related information. Always read such information thoroughly.

Warnings in the instruction manual have the following order of priority:

WARNING! Warns for the risk of physical injury, severe damage to the product or other

property or serious malfunctions that may occur if the instructions are not followed.

IMPORTANT! Used to call your attention to points that may cause malfunctions or damage

to the product or other property.

NOTE! Used to call your attention to important information that can facilitate working meth-

ods or handling.

This symbol is used in certain cases on our products to refer to important information found

in the instruction manual. Make sure all warning and information symbols on the engine and

transmission are easily visible and legible. Replace symbols that have been damaged or

painted over.

Safety regulations for boat trips

The new boat

Read instruction manuals and other information ac-

companying the new boat thoroughly. Accustom your-

self with handling the engine, controls and other equip-

ment in a safe and correct manner.

If this is your first boat or if it is a type you are not

used to, we recommend practising manoeuvring the

boat in a peaceful environment. Learn the sea-going

and manoeuvring characteristics at different speeds

and in varying weather and load conditions before

casting off on your “real” maiden voyage.

Remember that when operating a boat, you have a le-

gal responsibility to be aware of and follow regulations

concerning traffic and safety at sea. Inform yourself of

the regulations that apply to you and your waters by

getting in touch with the relevant authorities or marine

safety organisation.

Attending some kind of boat handling course is a good

idea. We recommend getting in touch with a regional

boat or marine safety organisation to help you locate a

suitable course.

Accidents and other incidents

Sea rescue statistics show that deficient maintenance

of boats and engines together with defective safety

equipment often causes accidents and other incidents

at sea.

Make sure your boat and engine are maintained in ac-

cordance with directions in the instruction manuals

and that the safety equipment on board is in good

working order.

Daily inspection

Make a habit of visually inspecting the engine and en-

gine room before starting (before starting the engine)

and after stopping (when the engine has been

turned off). This will help you to quickly detect any

fuel, coolant or oil leaks and any other abnormalities

that have occurred or are about to occur.

Manoeuvring

Avoid violent and rapid rudder movement and gear

shifting. There is a risk of the passengers falling down

or falling overboard.

A rotating propeller can cause serious injury. Make

sure there is nobody in the water before engaging for-

ward/reverse. Never run close to bathers or in places

where you have reason to believe there are people in

the water.

Filling fuel

There is a risk of fire and explosion when filling fuel.

Smoking is prohibited and the engine must be turned

off.

Never overfill the tank. Close the filler cap securely.

Use only fuel recommended in the instruction manual.

The incorrect grade of fuel can disturb operation or

cause breakdown. This can also lead to the control

rod jamming on diesel engines, which will overrev the

engine and risk damaging machinery and causing per-

sonal injury.

Do not start the engine

Do not start or run the engine with a suspected fuel or

LPG leak in the boat, nor when you are close to or in

a discharge of explosive media, etc. There is risk for

fire and/or explosion in explosive surroundings.

Carbon monoxide poisoning

When a boat is moving forward, it will cause a certain

vacuum to form behind the boat. In unfortunate cir-

cumstances, the suction from this vacuum can be so

great that the exhaust gases from the boat are drawn

into the cockpit or cabin and cause carbon monoxide

poisoning.

This problem is most prevailant on high, wide boats

with abrupt stern. In certain conditions, however, this

suction can be a problem on other boats, e.g. when

running with the cover up. Other factors that can in-

crease the effect of the suction are wind conditions,

load distribution, swells, trim, open hatches and port-

holes, etc.

Most modern boats, however, are designed in such a

way that this problem is very rare. If suction should

arise anyway, do not open hatches or portholes at the

fore of the boat. Surprisingly, this will otherwise in-

crease the suction. Try changing speed, trim or load

distribution instead. Try taking down/opening or in any

other way changing the setup of the cover as well.

Get in touch with your boat dealer for help in obtaining

the best solution for your boat.

Remember

Safety equipment: life jackets for everyone on board, communication equipment, distress rockets,

approved fire extinguisher, bandages, life buoy, anchor, paddle, torch, etc.

● Spare parts and tools: Impeller, fuel filter, fuses, adhesive tape, hose clips, engine oil, propeller

and tools for tasks it may be necessary to perform.

● Plan your desired route from the charts. Calculate distance and fuel consumption. Listen to weath-

er reports.

● Inform relations of your planned route for long trips. Remember to inform of changed plans or de-

lays.

● Inform the people on board of where the safety equipment is located and how it works. Make sure

there is more than one person on board that knows how to start and manoeuvre the boat safely.

This list should be supplemented with necessary safety equipment depending on the type of boat,

where and how it is being used, etc. We recommend you get in touch with a regional boat or marine

safety organisation to obtain more detailed marine safety information.

Safety directions for maintenance and service

Preparations

Knowledge

The instruction manual contains directions for per-

forming normal maintenance and service in a safe and

correct manner. Read the directions carefully before

starting work.

More detailed service literature is available from your

Volvo Penta dealer.

Never perform a task unless you are absolutely sure

how it is to be carried out, call your Volvo Penta deal-

er for assistance instead.

Stop the engine

Stop the engine before opening or dismantling the en-

gine hatch/hood. Maintenance and service must be

carried out with the engine stationary unless stated

otherwise in the instructions.

Prevent inadvertent start of the engine by removing

the starter key and turning off the power with the main

switch, locking it in the off position. Place a warning

progress.

Working on or approaching a running engine is a safe-

ty hazard. Loose clothing, hair, fingers or a dropped

tool can fasten in rotating parts and cause serious

bodily injury. Volvo Penta recommend leaving all work

requiring the engine to be running to an authorised

Volvo Penta service centre.

Lifting the engine

Always use the lifting eyes mounted on the engine (or

reverse gear) when lifting the engine. Always make

sure lifting equipment is in good condition and con-

structed for the lift (engine weight together with possi-

ble reverse gear and extra equipment). Use an adjust-

able lifting boom to ensure safe handling when lifting

the engine. All chains and wires must run parallel with

each other and as much at right-angle as possible to

the top of the engine. Note that any extra equipment

mounted on the engine can change the centre of grav-

ity. Special lifting devices may be required to obtain

the right balance and safe handling. Never perform

service on an engine suspended only from a lifting de-

vice.

Before starting

Refit all guards and covers that have been removed

before starting the engine. Make sure there are no

tools or other objects left on the engine.

A turbocharged engine must never be started without

the air filter fitted. The rotating compressor wheel in

the turbocharger can cause severe personal injury.

There is also a risk of foreign objects being drawn in

and causing mechanical damage.

Fire and explosion

Fuel and lubricants

All fuel, most lubricants and many chemicals are

flammable substances. Always read and follow the di-

rections on the packaging.

Work performed on the fuel system must be done on

a cold engine. Fuel leaks and spills on hot surfaces or

electrical components can cause fires.

Keep oil- and fuel-drenched rags and other hazardous

materials where they are safe in case of fire. Oil

drenched rags can self-ignite in certain conditions.

Never smoke when refuelling, topping up with oil or

when in the vicinity of the fuel station or engine room.

Non-original parts

Components in fuel, ignition and electrical systems on

Volvo Penta engines are designed and manufactured

to minimize the risk of explosion and fire in compli-

ance with existing legislation.

The use of non-original parts can result in explosion or

fire.

Batteries

Batteries contain and generate oxyhydrogen gas, es-

pecially when charging. Oxyhydrogen is easily ignited

and extremely explosive.

Smoking, naked flames and sparks must never occur

in or close to the batteries or battery compartment.

A faulty battery connection or jumper cable can gener-

ate sparks which can cause the battery to explode.

Start spray

Never use start spray or similar start help. Explosions

can occur in the intake manifold. Risk for personal in-

jury.

Hot surfaces and fluids

A hot engine always involves risk for burn injuries.

Take care with hot surfaces. E.g.: exhaust manifold,

turbocharger, oil pan, charge air pipe, starting heater,

hot coolant and warm lubricant in pipes and hoses.

Carbon monoxide poisoning

Start the engine in well ventilated spaces only. When

running in confined spaces, the exhaust gases and

crankcase gases must be evacuated.

Chemicals

Most chemicals such as glycol, anti-corrosion agent,

preservatives, degreasing agent, etc., are hazardous

to health. Always read and follow the directions on the

packaging.

Certain chemicals such as preservatives are flamma-

ble and harmful to inhale. Provide good ventilation and

use breathing protection when spraying. Always read

and follow the directions on the packaging.

Store chemicals and other hazardous materials out of

reach of children. Leave left over or used chemicals to

a destruction plant.

Cooling system

There is a risk of water entering when working on the

seawater system. Therefore, stop the engine and

close the sea cock before starting work.

Avoid opening the coolant filler cap when the engine is

warm. Steam or hot coolant may spurt out and cause

burn injuries.

If the filler cap, coolant pipe, cock, etc., must never-

theless be opened or dismantled while the engine is

warm, the filler cap must be opened carefully to re-

lease the pressure before removing it completely and

starting work. Note that the coolant can still be hot

and cause burn injuries.

Lubricating system

Hot oil can cause burn injuries. Avoid skin contact

with warm oil. Make sure the lubricating system is

depressurised before starting work. Never start or run

the engine with the oil filler cap removed or there will

be a risk of the oil being thrown out.

Fuel system

Always protect your hands when carrying out leak de-

tection. Escaping fluids under pressure can pierce

bodily tissue and cause serious injury. Risk of blood

poisoning.

Always cover the generator if it is located under the

fuel filter. Fuel spills can damage the generator.

Electrical system

Turn off the power

Before starting work on the electrical system, the en-

gine must be stopped and the powered turned off with

the main switch/switches. Shore power to the engine

heater, battery charger or other extra equipment fitted

to the engine must be disconnected.

Batteries

Batteries contain a highly corrosive electrolyte. Pro-

tect your eyes, skin and clothing when charging and

handing batteries. Always use protective goggles and

gloves.

In case of splashes on the skin, wash with soap and

plenty of water. In case of splashes in the eyes, rinse

immediately with plenty of water and call a doctor.

The engines are fitted with a heat exchanger for thermosta-

tically controlled fresh water cooling of the engine block,

cylinder heads and exhaust manifold. The exhaust mani-

fold cooling jacket is designed so that it also cools all the

exhaust ports.

The engines are lubricated by means of a pressure lubri-

cating system, where an oil pump supplies lubricating oil

to all the lubricating points in the correct quantities at all

engine speeds. The pistons in the 70-type engines are

cooled by oil fed through special nozzles located in the

engine block.

The lower part of the crankcase functions as an oil contai-

ner.

The fuel system is well protected from interruptions during

running by means of effective, replaceable fuel fine filters.

On the TAMD60 engines the fuel injection pump is flange

mounted while the other engines have the pump fitted on a

bracket.

The engines have wet replaceable cylinder liners which

are cooled by fresh water.

The turbo-compressor supplies fresh air to the engine

during the induction stroke. Air is supplied under pressure,

resulting in a greater degree of volumetric efficiency. The

cylinders thus receive a greater quantity of air and conse-

quently more oxygen per stroke. In consequence the

amount of fuel injected can also be increased, which leads

to increased output.

The turbo-compressor is lubricated from the engine lubrica-

ting system and cooled from the fresh water cooling sys-

tem.

In order to further increase the supply of oxygen, the air to

the engine is cooled down by an after-cooler located after

the compressor at the intake manifold.

The Aquamatic models are provided with a hydraulic pump

and a special connection flange at the reverse gear. Other-

wise they are similar to the inboard engines. The hydraulic

pump, fitted at the rear side of the engine auxiliary drive

gear casing, close to the fuel injection pump coupling,

supplies oil under pressure to the power cylinder acting on

the lower, steerable part of the outboard drive. This results

in easy and effortless steering of the boat.

Instruments and controls

Before starting to run your new marine engine, become acquainted with the controls and instruments. Make a habit

of checking the instruments now and again while running - any abnormal readings will then be detected in time.

Instruments

The most important instruments for the engine are grouped

on a basic panel (A). There is a second panel (B) with,

among other things, an hour meter, warning lamps, war-

ning siren and pressure gauges for the reverse gear oil

pressure and the turbo-charging pressure.

There is also a third panel (C) where a rudder indicator and

fuel gauge are fitted. (Panels B and C are optional equip-

ment).

The location of the panels in relation to each other can be

varied, since they are built to a modular system.

A separate panel with less instruments is available for the

Flying Bridge (optional equipment). See fig. 8.

The instrument panels for TAMD60 engines are not fitted

with the control lamps 2 and 7 (Fig. 7), since these engines

do not have air pre-heating. Otherwise the equipment is the

same as for the 70-engines.

Fig. 7. Instrument panel (Panels B

and C, optional equipment)

1. Key switch with 4 positions.

Position 0 – the key can be inserted and removed

Position 1 – is not used, turn key past this position

Position II – running position

Position S – pre-heater engaged. Does not apply to

TAMD60.

(See also fig. 19)

2. Control lamp - (does not apply to TAMD60). This lights

up when the air pre-heater is engaged (key turned to

position S). It remains alight while the air pre-heater is

engaged (approx. 120 sec). The pre-heater

disengages automatically.

3. Stop button - pushing it engages the stop solenoid

causing the engine to stop.

4. Revolution counter, engine speed - multiply the

figures on the scale by 100.

5. Voltmeter, charging of batteries and system voltage.

With a 24 volt system, the gauge needle (during

running) should be pointing to approx. 28 volts, but for

a 12-volt system it should be approx. 14 volts. Should

the voltage during running drop to 24 (or 12) volts, the

batteries are not being charged.

The meter is wired via the master switch and indicates 24

(or 12) volts with the engine switched off.

6. Instrument lighting - indirected lighting of all

instruments. Turn the button to vary lighting strength.

7. Control lamp - (does not apply to TAMD60) - lights

when air pre-heater has been engaged long enough

for the engine to be started. The lamp lights about 60

seconds after the key has been switched to position S

and remains alight for about 60 seconds, that is, until

the pre-heater disengages automatically.

8. Pressure gauge - engine lubricating oil pressure,

should be at 300-500 kPa (3-5 kp/cm

= 43-71 psi)

during normal operation. At idling speed it should be

min. 150 kPa (1.5 kp/cm

= 21 psi). The engine must

not be run with excessively low oil pressure.

9. Starter button - pushing it engages the starter motor.

10. Temperature gauge engine coolant - During normal

operation the temperature should be between 65° and

95°C (149-203°F). The engine must not be run for

more than a few seconds if the temperature is

excessive.

11. Rudder indicator - indicates the position of the rudder.

The middle position of the needle indicates the rudder

in neutral.

12. Push - pull switches - for extra lighting. (Max. load 5A

per switch).

13. Fuel gauge - indicates how much fuel there is in the

tank. F means full tank, E empty tank, but a small

amount of spare fuel (R) however, still remains.

14. Hour meter - registers the number of hours and minu-

tes the engine has been running.

15. Pressure gauge - reverse gear oil pressure. The

pressure should be around the values given in

”Technical Data”, pages 40 and 41.

16. Battery charging warning lamp - lights if the batteries

discharge.

17. Warning lamp - lights if the engine lubricating oil

pressure is too low.

18. Warning lamp - lights if the engine temperature

becomes excessive.

19. Push-pull switch - for extra lighting (max. load 5A)

20. Siren - engages automatically if the engine tempera-

ture becomes excessive or its oil pressure too low.

Either lamp 17 or 18 will light and indicate the type of

fault which has arisen.

21. Pressure gauge - for the turbo-compressor charging

pressure. Concerning the pressure, see ”Technical

Data”, page 40.

Fig. 8. Flying Bridge instrument panel, optional equipment.

The numbering on figs. 7 and 8 is similar. Flying Bridge instruments which have the same function as those on the

basic panel have been given the same numbers.

The engine can be stopped and (if it is warm) started from the Flying Bridge. On such occasions, the key on the lower in-

strument panel should be switched to the running position.

When the engine is cold, is should always be started from the lower control position and the air pre-heater (does not apply

to the TAMD60 engines) should be engaged before starting.

3. Stop button – pushing it in engages the stop solenoid

and the engine stops,

4. Revolution counter, engine speed – multiply the value

by 100.

6. Instrument lighting – indirect lighting of instruments

with switch pulled out.

9. Start button – pushing it in engages the starter motor.

12. Push-pull switches – for extra lighting (max. load 5A

per switch).

16. Battery charging warning lamp – lights up if the

batteries discharge.

17. Warning lamp – lights if the engine lubricating oil

pressure is too low.

18. Warning lamp – lights if the engine temperature

becomes excessive.

20. Siren – engages automatically if the engine tempera-

ture becomes excessive or its oil pressure too low.

Either one of lamps 17 or 18 also lights up and

indicates the type of fault which has arisen.

Fig. 9. Single control

Fig. 10. Twin control

Controls

Volvo Penta single lever control (single or twin), operates

both the reverse gear and the engine speed. When there

are two engines a twin control is used.

Lever (1) at N – neutral position.

From N to F – reverse gear engaged for running forward.

From N to R – reverse gear engaged for running in reverse.

T – engine speed control.

Disengaging reverse gear from control lever.

Push in the button (2) when the lever is in neutral and move

the lever forwards. The lever can then be used for control-

ling engine speed but with reverse gear disengaged. Take

care not to engage reverse gear unintentionally.

When it is desired to use the lever again for operating the

reverse gear, keep the button (2) pushed in and move the

lever to neutral again.

As optional equipment, the controls can have a neutral po-

sition switch, in which case the engine can only be started

with the reverse gear in neutral.

Disengageable clutch

Clutches – with or without reduction gear – have two con-

trol lever positions. Engaged – lever pushed towards engi-

ne; disengaged – lever pushed away from engine.

When engaging and disengaging the clutches, the engine

speed must not exceed 13.3 r/s (800 r/min)

Running

The following instructions apply to engines which have both standard instrumentation and optional instrument equip-

ment. In the case of standard instruments only, the instructions apply where appropriate.

Procedure before starting

1. Coolant level. Check that the level is about 5 cm below

the expansion tank filler cap sealing surface. There

must be an air cushion for the expansion of the fluid.

On TAMD60 engines the expansion tank is next to the

heat exchanger.

As optional equipment the TAMD60 engines can also

be provided with a separately positioned expansion

tank which is made of transparent plastic and where

the level should lie between the ”min.” and ”max.”

marks.

NOTE! Remove the cap very carefully if the engine is

hot.

When adding coolant, open the venting cocks to make

sure that no air pockets form. A ventilating cock is situa-

ted on the water pipe at the turbo. For 70-type engines the-

re is also a cock at the front of the thermostat housing.

On the TAMD60 engines, small quantities required for

topping-up can be added to the expansion tank, but other-

wise coolant should always be filled directly into the heat

exchanger through the hole for the hexagon plug, until the

engine is completely full and vented. Then close the ven-

ting cock at the turbo and screw the hexagon plug on the

heat exchanger. Thereafter, fill the expansion tank at the

side of the engine (1, fig. 11) with approx. 3 litres (0.66 Imp.

galls = 0.80 US galls) and replace the cap.

1. If the engine is connected to a cabin heater, this must

also be vented before the cap on the expansion tank or

the plug on the heat exchanger are fitted. Otherwise

the engine may be damaged due to insufficient

cooling.

Finally, fill the separate expansion tank, if fitted, to

slightly above the MIN. level.

If the engine should run abnormally hot, carefully

vent the cooling system and top up with water.

2. Lubricating oil level, engine. Check that the level is

between the marks on the dipstick. It must never be

permitted to fall below the lower mark.

(Check that the cock under the oil scavenging pump,

on the 70C-engine, is closed, see page 24.)

3. Oil level, reverse gear. The level should reach the

mark (alternatively, it should lie between the two

marks) on the dipstick. Repeat the check for Twin Disc

reverse gears whilst idling with the control in the neu-

tral position, since this indicates the true level for this

type of reverse gear.

The oil level in the Borg Warner and SCG reverse

gears should be checked when the engine is not

running. The oil level will lie above the ”max.” mark

when the engine has been stationary long enough for

the oil to run down from the cooler and passages. To

obtain a true level reading the check should be made

immediately after the engine has been stopped.

4. Check that the seawater cocks on the engine are

closed. See the figures on page 18.

5. Open the bottom valve and the trickle-feed cock to the

bilge pump, if fitted. (Fig. 18).

6. Fuel. Check that there is sufficient fuel in the tanks and

open the fuel cocks.

7. Switch on the master switches. They should be on

when the engine is running.

NOTE! Switching off and on must never be carried out

while the engine is running, since this can damage the

charging regulator.

Starting

With the exception of TAMD60, the engines have an air

pre-heater fitted in the intake manifold and this should al-

ways be used in order to provide a rapid and easy start and

to reduce exhaust smoke from a cold engine.

If the engine is warm, the pre-heater does not have to be

engaged, in which case the key is turned to position II, run-

ning position. Point 2 is excluded and the engine is started

regardless of the warning lamps mentioned in point 4.

1. Turn the key to position II and check that the warning

lamps 16 and 17, figs. 7 and 8 light. The siren 20 is

switched on at the same time. Dampen the noise of the

siren by holding your thumb over it.

Always carry out this check before starting, to make

sure that warning lights and siren function; in order

to be well prepared for an emergency.

2. (This point does not apply to TAMD60 engines.) Turn

the key to position S and release it. The key will then

return to position II. The warning lamp 2, fig. 7 lights

and shows that the pre-heater has been engaged.

3. Set the control (both control levers for twin installation)

to neutral. Push in the button (1) so that the reverse

gear is disengaged. Keep the button pressed in and

then move the lever to full speed ”Forward” (2).

4. On the 70-type engines, press the starter button 9, fig.

7, immediately when the control lamp 7 lights. (The

lamp 7, which lights for about 60 seconds, lights up 60

seconds after the lamp 2.) About 2 minutes after the

key has been released from position S, the pre-heater

disengages automatically and the lights 2 and 7 go out.

The TAMD60 engines are not provided with the control

lamps mentioned in the point above and are therefore

started directly by pushing in button 9.

5. Reduce the speed to approx. 16.7 r/s (1000 r/min)

when the engine has started. Check that the warning

lamps 16 and 17 go out. The siren should stop when

lamp 17 goes out.

6. If a second starting attempt has to be made on engine

TAMD60A, the control should be moved back to “Neu-

tral” and then re-set to full speed in order to engage the

cold-starting device again.

On other engine types, just set the control directly to full

speed, at the same time as the pre-heater is re-

engaged for the 70-type engines.

7. Never race a cold engine. The lubricating oil is

viscous in its cold condition and there is always risk of

seizing if the engine is raced.

Procedure after starting

1. Never race a cold engine. Run it warm under light

loading or at rapid idling speed.

2. Check that the warning lamp for the oil pressure (17,

figs. 7 & 8) goes out immediately after the engine has

started. The oil pressure for the engine should be

between 300-500 kPa (3-5 kp/cm

= 43-71 p.s.i.) at

normal operation. The warning lamp lights and the si-

ren sounds if the pressure drops below 150 kPa (1.5

kp/cm

= 21 p.s.i.), in which case the engine must be

stopped immediately in order to avoid engine damage.

3. Check that the charging warning lamp (16) goes out.

4. Keep the button (1, fig. 21) on the control pushed in

and pull the control lever to neutral.

Check the oil level in the Twin Disc reverse gear while

idling and with the control lever in neutral.

5. Check the engine temperature.

NOTE! The temperature should be between 65–95°C

(150°–203°F) during running. If the temperature rises

abnormally, open the air cocks on the thermostat

housing and the turbo for a few seconds in order to

evacuate any air in the coolant system. Top up with

water if required.

6. Check the oil pressure for the reverse gear. See

”Technical data”.

Engine speed

NOTE! Special regulations apply with regard to

running-in, see under the heading ”Running-in”.

Cruising speed is equal to about 3.3 r/s (200 r/min.) below

the maximum speed reached for a given load condition.

This results in economical and favourable operation.

Do not run for long periods of time with the engine speed

below 23.3 r/s (1400 r/min.) with the engine under load.

If the speed tends to drop gradually, this may be due to dirt

or marine growth on the bottom of the boat. For this reason,

the hull below the waterline should always be thoroughly

cleaned in such cases and treated with anti-fouling paint

before other measures are taken.

Running-in

When the engine is new it should be run with a certain

amount of caution during the first 200 hours. The same

applies to a newly reconditioned engine. Read the instru-

ments often and make sure that they give normal readings.

Run at full speed only during short periods for the first 50

hours. During this time, cruising speed should also be re-

duced so that it is at least 5.0 r/s (300 r/ min.) below the

maximum speed attained.

The cruising speed can subsequently be increased gradu-

ally, but as a rule, it should be approx. 3.3 r/s (200 r/min.)

below the maximum speed attained.

If a fresh water filter (Perry) is fitted it should be changed for

the first time after 150 hours of operation.

Subsequently, the filter is normally changed every 600

hours. When removing, the entire filter is unscrewed in the

same way as the lubricating oil filters.

Oil changing during running-in

Change the oil in the engine for the first time after running

25 hours.

Fig. 24. Engine coolant temperature.

Fig. 25. Charging voltage. The figure shows the 24 V

system. Halve the value for a 12 V system.

Fig. 26. Fuel gauge. F = Full tank

E = Empty tank R = Reserve fuel.

Change the oil again after running 100–150 hours and

change the oil filter (filters) at the same time. Never flush

out the engine with flushing oil since the bearing pressures

in a diesel engine are too high for the use of this kind of oil

to be suitable.

The oil in the reverse gear (and the filter element on SCG)

should be changed for the first time after 100-150 hours of

operation.

The oil is subsequently changed at the normal intervals gi-

ven in the servicing scheme.

During running

Frequently check during running that all the instruments give normal readings. Some of the instruments are optional

equipment, see page 10.

p.s.i.), normally during operation

Avoid stoppages for want of fuel. If

this should happen, the fuel system

must be vented, after filling with

fuel.

Warning lamp (low oil

pressure)

The lamp should not light. It lights

only when the pressure falls below

150 kPa (1.5 kp/cm

= 21 P.s.i.).

If the lamp lights or if the siren is

heard the oil pressure is too low.

Stop the engine. Remedy the

fault.

Warning siren

The siren is heard if the oil pressu-

re falls below 150 kPa (1.5 kp/cm

21 p.s.i.).

Engine coolant tempera-

ture

65-95°C (150-203°F) normally

during operation.

If the lamp lights and the siren is

heard the engine temperature is

too high. Stop the engine. Re-

medy the fault.

Warning lamp (coolant

temperature)

The light should not come on.

(Lights if engine temp. exceeds

approx. 95°C = 203°F, the siren

is also heard).

Charging voltage

During normal running approx. 28

volts for 24 V system and approx.

14 volts for 12 V system.

If the voltage drops to 24 (or 12)

volts during running, the batteries

are not being charged. Remedy

the fault as soon as possible.

Warning lamp (battery

charging)

The lamp should not light. The batteries are not being char-

ged if the lamp lights up. Remedy

the fault as soon as possible.

Turbo-charging pressure

Normal pressure, see ”Technical

data”. The pressure depends great-

ly on the output. The engine should

run at full load for 2-3 minutes befo-

re reading the pressure gauge.

The charging pressure is consid-

erably lower than those values gi-

ven in ”Technical Data”, unless full

engine output can be developed.

Check that the charging pressure

does not drop unduly from the nor-

mal test pressure reached for the

boat in question.

Reverse gear oil pressu-

The pressure should correspond

with the values given in ”Technical

data”, pages 40 and 41.

Slipping can occur if pressure is

too low. This can cause damage

to the reverse gear.

Stopping

1. Let the engine run for a few minutes without load to

enable the engine temperature to drop, thereby

avoiding after-boiling.

2. Press in the stop button and keep it pressed in until the

engine has stopped,

3. Close the cock on the trickle-feed line to the bilge

pump, if such a pump is fitted. The scribed mark on the

cock should be at right-angles to the pipe when the

cock is closed.

4. When the engine has stopped switch off the current by

turning the key switch to the 0-position. Neglecting to

do this will cause the batteries to discharge. If the

engine is to remain idle for 24 hours or more, the mas-

ter switches should also be switched off. The volt meter

is wired directly over these switches.

NOTE! The master switches must not be switched

off while the engine is running, otherwise the charging

regulator can be damaged.

All fuel cocks and the bottom valve should be closed.

5. If there is any risk of frost, follow the recommendations

given under ”Precautions in case of frost”, in order to

avoid damage to the cooling system.

Get-you-home device

Reverse gears of type SCG MRF350 HDMK3, as standard

are equipped with a mechanical safety clutch.

In the event of a serious breakdown of the reverse gear hy-

draulic system, or excessive slipping when attempting for-

ward running; the get-you-home device can be engaged in

order to reach port.

When engaged, this get-you-home device mechanically

locks the input and output shafts together, preventing the

disengagement of the reverse gear. The control lever must

unconditionally be in the ”forward” position while the engi-

ne is running with the get-you-home device engaged. In

any other position the clutch linings will be damaged.

Let a workshop carry out the necessary repairs as soon as

possible.

Engaging, SCG MRF 350 HDMK3B

Note! Stop the engine before engaging the get-you-home

device. Serious bodily injury can result otherwise

Remove the cover with the oil pump, which is located on

the port side of the reverse gear. Screw in the three screws

alternately until all the screws are properly tightened. Use a

hexagonal wrench (5 mm.).

Precautions in case of frost

When the engine is stopped and there is risk of frost, the

cooling sea water system should be drained in order to

prevent the cooling jackets and pipelines from being dama-

ged by frost.

The freshwater system should also be drained or Volvo

Penta glycol, or another glycol of approved quality, added.

Before draining, stop the engine, remove the filler cap

and close the bottom valve. Then open the drain cocks in

the fresh water and seawater system. There may also be

cocks at the lowest points of the cooling water and the ex-

haust lines.

Remove the cover on the seawater pump and the cover on

any extra bilgepump if fitted. Check to make sure that all

the water runs out.

Bilge-pump the boat and make sure there is no leakage

anywhere.

Propeller shaft brake

For certain stipulated conditions of operation a propeller

shaft brake may be necessary, due to the fact that the pro-

peller shaft may be caused to rotate by forces acting upon

the propeller, when the engine is shut down. This can da-

mage the reverse gear. The reason for this is that the hy-

draulically operated reverse gear lubrication is insufficient

since the oil pump is driven by the input shaft which is sta-

tionary together with the engine.

A special oil pump for the circulation of lubricating oil can,

however, be fitted to the SCG-reverse gear. This pump,

which is driven by the output shaft should be ordered at the

same time as the reverse gear (not included in Volvo

Penta’s standard range). If this pump is fitted, the shaft can

”trail” for unlimited periods of time, no shaft brake is

needed. The pump cannot be fitted to previously installed

reverse gears.

The propeller shaft may be allowed to rotate, whilst the

engine is shut down, for up to 24 hours. It is however, if

possible, advantageous to run the engine for a short while

after every 8 hours for lubrication and cooling of the rever-

se gear. In cases where the shaft rotates faster than during

normal operation, whilst under sail, for example, a tempe-

rature gauge should be connected to the reverse gear, in

order to monitor the oil temperature. Max. allowable temp.

for SCG reverse gear: 70°C (158°F) and for Twin Disc re-

verse gear 110°C (230°F).

If the above regulations cannot be fulfilled a propeller shaft

brake must be fitted (in exceptional cases the reverse gear

carrier may be disconnected).

Borg Warner reverse gears do not require a propeller shaft

brake for engines whilst under sail or in the case of twin

engine installations when one engine is shut down. The oil

level should, however, be checked carefully under these

conditions of operation, as well as during normal operation.

pump, SCG.

get-you-home device, SCG.

Anti-freeze

During the cold season, suitable anti-freeze should be ad-

ded to the cooling water in the fresh water system.

We recommend that you use our ethylene glycol (red, part

number 283241 in cans of 4.5 litres = 1 Imp.gall. = 1.2

U.S.gall.), which have the right amount of additive for neu-

tralizing corrosive matter that may be in the cooling water.

If Volvo’s red glycol is used, it is sufficient to change the

coolant once a year, preferably in the autumn (fall).

Never use anti-freeze which is not approved. Among other

things, certain types of anti-freeze can cause corrosion in

the engine.

Methylated spirit of any kind should not be used since it

evaporates fairly quickly. It also increases the risk of corro-

sion in the cooling system.

At least 40% glycol should be used in order to avoid corro-

sion.

Flush the cooling system clean before filling it with antifree-

ze. Check hoses and connections and remedy any leaka-

ge.

*Incl. separate expansion tank.

NOTE! If water without glycol is used during the summer do

not add anti-corrosion agent which can damage the light-

alloy parts in the cooling system. In order to avoid corrosi-

on, the easiest method is to use a suitable mixture of Volvo

Penta red glycol all year round. It should be changed every

autumn.
